You sit me down to explain
All the trials you've endured
Around and around the refrain
Rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion, entertain the notion
That the only thing I hear
Is the crack of a smile in a face
That ain't so sincere
When I'm measuring out
Your quality
It is only as deep
As your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces
Shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile till they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the
Most common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation
Surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your
Well I think you can reach a place
Where the impetus is pure
You'll understand a disgrace
Is the thing that makes us feel
Level on the inside, level on the outside
I'm, I'm content to know it
Level on the inside, level on the outside
I don't need to show it
When I'm measuring out
Your quality
It is only as deep
As your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces
Shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile till they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the
Most common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation
Surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your wake
(Shattered by the silent treatment)
Fragile till they break down
(As your insides fall to pieces)
(Shattered by the silent treatment)
Fragile till they break down
(As your insides fall to pieces)
(Shattered by the silent treatment)
